Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 158

"They? There are others besides Mr. Lucas?" Verian took the opportunity to change the subject and asked with her dainty hands around his neck.

Heaton squeezed her slender waist. "Zander and Jinn made it up."

Verian blushed, clenching her fist as she punched his shoulder and said in a playfully displeased manner, "Why are they calling me little lion? Do you often tell them that I have a bad temper?"

Lions, were they not the kind that would blow up easily when they got angry?

The man raised his big, well-knotted hand to follow her hair as he said in a low voice, "I think that lion cubs are quite cute, so I let them address you as such."

Cute?

Verian seemed to have discovered the New World. It was the first time she had heard the word "cute" come from Heaton's mouth. The roots of her ears went red. "Then did you name the puppy Little Lion on purpose?"

The man snorted. "When we hugged him back, he almost bit me after a few teases. If it’s not a Little Lion, then what is it?"

Verian chuckled. "Then this puppy has really fat courage. It’s not afraid of you killing it!"

"Isn't she so unscrupulous because she thinks that I won't do anything to her?"

When he said this, Heaton stared at her with burning eyes. Verian's heart clogged as the smile on her face suddenly stiffened.

His words were talking about a puppy, but why did she inexplicably hear him talking about her?

What did Heaton's pun mean? Did he already suspect her?

Since he had not made it clear, Verian also pretended to be stupid, grabbing his hand as she opened her mouth and pressed it lightly on his finger before bitting it. She left a row of imprints, deliberately laughing as she said, "You said that it’s a Little Lion, its guts sure are fat!"

Heaton looked down at the neat row of imprints on his fingers. Verian thought that he was angry and was about to tilt her head to see his lowered handsome face. Unexpectedly, she was caught in her arms by him.

Heaton kissed her lips fiercely.

Verian blushed and her heart beat fast. There was nowhere to put her dainty hands. Heaton grasped them and put them on his neck. It was not until Verian's lips were red and swollen by the kiss that Heaton let her go.

"Why did you suddenly kiss me?"

His thin lips were still lightly pressed against her lips. The man's black eyes gloomily stared at her lips, red from the kiss, and said in a hoarse voice, "The Little Lion bit me and I can't bite back?"

Verian's face went red!

He spoke so calmly as if what he said were not words of love, so why did her heart burst like chocolate?

...

Heaton had half an hour before he could get off work, so Verian sat on the sofa next to him, playing with her cellphone while waiting for Heaton so they could leave work together.

Her cellphone rang. It was a call from Yanni. She quickly hung up and did not answer it.

Yanni must have called to urge her to steal the chip.

Thinking of this, she felt agitated in her heart.

She raised her head to look at Heaton, the emotions in her heart turning complicated.

If one day Heaton knew that she had been lying to him, would he hate her?

However, so what if he hated her? She hated him for forcing her father to death, right?

She could only calculate with her heart toward him, but she could not sincerely give him her heart.

...

After Heaton got off work, Verian went to the kindergarten with him to pick up Little Jelly Bean before they went back to the Swallow Bay villa.

Kush took Little Lion from the Fudd Family Mansion. As soon as Little Jelly Bean entered the house, she saw Little Lion jumping around and it could not be mentioned how happy she was. She ran over and played with Little Lion on the sofa.

"Dad, Little Lion seems to be thinner! Let's keep Little Lion here and let it live with us! I will take good care of Little Lion!"

Heaton had no objections and answered softly.

Verian Mont walked over. "Little Jelly Bean, do you like puppies?"

"Boss, I checked all the Mont Group’s case records and found that Grayson Mont went bankrupt that year and it was actually related to the Fudd Group..."

...

After hanging up, Heaton played with the chip in his hand.

So, her purpose of approaching him was just for revenge?

Under the moonlit night on Regent Island, when he stood in front of her after escaping from death, she was only pretending when she hugged him so excitedly?

So it was also an act when he missed the appointment and she waited for him one whole day in the rain at the Department of Civil Affairs Department’s door?

Heaton closed his eyes slightly, and his hand that was holding the chip gradually tightened.

The phone rang again. This time, it was from Jinn.

After answering the phone, Jinn asked playfully, "Have you tried the method I told you? Is your little lion pregnant?"

"Are you sure that this method is useful?"

"Of course. In order to not delay filming, Yanny hid from me and took pregnancy pills. I specifically asked the doctor and the doctor said that the way to make the pregnancy pills invalid was for her to drink lots of grapefruit juice after she took the pills. Grapefruit juice will greatly reduce the effect of the pregnancy medication. As a result, I started making Yanny drink grapefruit juice for a month and that’s how she became pregnant."

...

After Verian made dinner, she came up and asked Heaton to have dinner.

"Heaton, it’s time for dinner. You can work after eating."

She came over and Heaton stared at her with a dark pair of eyes. Verian was being stared at and she became fearful. She subconsciously touched her face. "Why-why are you staring at me? Is there anything dirty on my face?"

The man lifted her to the top of the desk...

Verian was startled and quickly stopped him with a hot face. "Little Jelly Bean is still waiting for us to have dinner..."

Seeing his face turn cold, Verian thought that he was unhappy because she was rejecting him, so she hugged his neck and tried to please him in a shy way by saying, "Let’s wait for after dinner... Okay?"
